Dr Wassim Mroue

IASH-Alwaleed Postdoctoral Fellow, October 2022-May 2023

I am interested in intra-sectarian relations during and after civil wars, conflict and peace, Shiism and political Islam. I earned a PhD in politics from the University of Edinburgh in December 2021. My thesis looked into drivers of relations between Lebanon’s Shia Islamist parties AMAL and Hezbollah in the 1980s. Before pursuing my PhD, I worked as a journalist and a national editor at Lebanon’s English language newspaper The Daily Star.
